The War of the Gods erupted

Regardless of what problems may arise, Kronos has no way to back down.

He only had one choice: the Knowledge Emperor.

The arrow is on the string and must be released, so we must do our best.

For a long time afterward, Kronos devoted himself to teaching his own students.

To ensure his efforts wouldn't be in vain, Kronos would also employ subtle Psychological Suggestion techniques to guarantee that they wouldn't escape his control.

After about three months, Kronos's students were considered fully trained.

However, Kronos knew in his heart that this war would last for another six months.

Because the main battlefield was in Loen, Loen's economy and culture were in complete chaos at this time.

These students won't be of much use to Loen in the short term.

Therefore, after some deliberation, Kronos finally decided to send them abroad so that they could play their part in other countries.

Currently, across the entire Northern Continent, only small countries like Loen, Masik, and Lenburg are suffering defeats, while the remaining Feysac Empire, the Republic of Intis, and the Feynapotter Kingdom are in the lead.

Therefore, although there are some signs of war among these three major powers, the region remains relatively stable.

Since they offered this reassurance, the school naturally proceeded as planned.

With the help of the Argel Family's connections, Kronos easily obtained genuine Identity Document for them, and then they began traveling and studying in various countries.

The Argel Family's most important business was import and export trade—or, to put it more politely, smuggling.

Therefore, the Argel Family still has some connections in other countries.

With the help of these connections, Kronos's students eventually all succeeded in becoming teachers.

The extensive publicity campaign by the Loen Royal Family had led many people to have heard of this new discipline.

So after some verification, everyone accepted the establishment of this new course.

Of course, these are elective courses, even in primary schools, and students choose them independently.

However, now that the course has been officially established, it can gradually develop until more people know about the course and Kronos.

As all of this slowly progressed, Kronos felt his Potion digestion was once again on the fast track.

Although he didn't teach this knowledge himself, the fact that it was disseminated by his students had a significant impact on him.

With thousands of students, it's impossible to know how many students they can teach each day—that's a truly remarkable number.

From then on, Kronos no longer needed to travel between the two places. He could simply stay obediently in the Enlightenment Monastery, and his progress in digesting the information would continue uninterrupted.

Over this long period of time, Kronos has made significant progress in controlling the Force Field. While he may not claim to have reached perfection, he has at least attained the level expected of a church Angel.

Kronos could completely smooth out the Force Field throughout the entire Enlightenment Monastery in just three seconds and bring it entirely under his control.

The next step is to find a way to break through to the blink of an eye, but this is indeed very difficult; very few of the Angel in the Church of Steam and Machinery can do it.

Just as Kronos continued to delve deeper into his abilities, the Enlightenment Monastery welcomed a newcomer.

He walked right in without Kronos's permission.

The person who could have such authorization was none other than Pope Ivan of the Church of Steam and Machinery.

Upon seeing Ivan's arrival, Kronos naturally rose to greet him.

However, Ivan ignored him and walked inside on his own.

Clearly, Ivan was trying to give Kronos a show of force, something like a warning.

However, Kronos was indeed somewhat confused.

What have I been up to lately?

It seems they've always stayed in the Enlightenment Monastery, rarely even going out.

Under such circumstances, how did I manage to offend Ivan?

After entering the Enlightenment Monastery, Ivan stared at Kronos for a long while before speaking very seriously:

"Horamick, your recent behavior has gone a bit too far."

After seeing the puzzled look on Horamick's face, Ivan continued with a stern expression:

"The entire Church of Steam and Machinery is preparing for all the changes that are to come."

"As a result, you're all alone, staying in the Enlightenment Monastery every day, never even stepping outside."

"Is the Moses Ascetic Order so unworthy of your attention? You can't even be bothered to spare a little effort for it."

Honestly, if Ivan hadn't brought it up today, Kronos would have completely forgotten that he had such a mission.

After venturing deep into the Moses Ascetic Order, Kronos even forced one of the Angel to choose self-imposed seclusion, thus forgetting that he had originally intended to keep an eye on the Moses Ascetic Order.

Seeing that "Horamick" seemed to suddenly remember his duty, Ivan's expression softened slightly.

"Horamick, you need to understand that a lot of people are watching you lately, simply because you haven't been carrying out any missions."

"Therefore, even some Angel have become dissatisfied with me, thinking that I haven't assigned you any tasks at all."

Without needing to be explicitly stated, Kronos knew who this Angel was.

It's unlikely to be anyone other than Greenton.

After all, the two of them already had a grudge.

Ivan's earnest and earnest efforts were mainly aimed at winning over Horamick.

In Ivan's view, Horamick was not power-hungry, and such a deputy was exactly what he wanted.

That's why Ivan came back in person and told him these things himself.

Otherwise, anyone could just send someone to deliver these messages; there's no need for them to come in person.

Ivan continued, "Let's just leave what happened before, because those times weren't really that important."

"But things can't go on like this now. You must personally keep an eye on the Moses Ascetic Order, because a real war could break out at any moment, and there's no room for carelessness."

Kronos naturally understood what Ivan meant.

The War of the Gods could erupt at any moment.

The Lord of Storms vs. the God of Steam and Machinery, the Eternal Blazing Sun vs. the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Evernight Goddess vs. the God of God of Combat and the Earth Mother – a grand melee among the seven gods.

After listening to Ivan's words, Kronos quickly feigned gratitude and said, "Thank you, Pope Holiness, for personally guiding me. I truly overlooked the importance of this matter."

Ivan smiled, a look of relief on his face, and said, "Don't feel so guilty. After all, your knowledge isn't comprehensive, and it's normal to have missed some things."

Because Kronos became Angel rather late, he missed the opportunity to formulate the overall plan.

Even though "Horamick" was included in the plan, its understanding of the entire region was still somewhat lacking.

To put it dramatically, even "Horamick" was unaware that this war sweeping across the Northern Continent was a War of the Gods.

Now that "Horamick" has come to his senses, Ivan won't linger any longer, as he also has his own mission to complete.

Even though nothing major is likely to happen now, Ivan still acts very dutifully in order to make a good impression on the God of Steam and Machinery.

After Ivan left, Kronos looked around.

My days in the Enlightenment Monastery are probably coming to an end.

After leaving, I should pretend to keep an eye on the Moses Ascetic Order.

Once the War of the Gods fully erupts, Kronos will immediately try to travel to Stiano's Divine Kingdom to attempt to steal the Beyonder Characteristic of the Knowledge Emperor.

By then, he would no longer be able to retain his position as the Monastery Director of the Enlightenment Monastery.

Naturally, there will be no chance to return here.

The only slight regret is that I haven't yet honed my skills to their peak, but there's no more time now.

After bidding farewell to the Enlightenment Monastery with a respectful gaze, Kronos went directly into the Spirit World, heading towards the Small Island of the Moses Ascetic Order.

Instead of patiently watching from afar, Kronos killed the island's leader, then Spirit Channeling to access all his memories and took his place on the island.

The reason for this is, of course, because such a life would be more comfortable.

As a leader of the Moses Ascetic Order, he naturally had plenty to eat and drink.

This is definitely much better than sleeping in the open.

According to this person's memories, the Hidden Sage had returned less than a month ago, in the space at headquarters.

After learning this Message, Kronos took great care to hide himself, never daring to part with his Concealment Scarf.

These peaceful days lasted for a while.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the Church of Steam and Machinery, Kronos simply wasted his time on the island.

To alleviate his boredom, Kronos often answered questions from members at Tarot Club.

They all clearly noticed that Mr. Fate had been speaking more and more frequently lately.

If it weren't for the fact that the Potion's digestion process hadn't slowed down at all, and this good Message hadn't soothed Kronos's mood, he really wouldn't have been able to stay any longer.

Until one day, Ivan sent Message through the internal channels of the Church of Steam and Machinery, notifying all those outside to be prepared at any time, because a "real" war could break out at any moment.

Through Ivan's message, Kronos understood that the God of Steam and Machinery was about to make his move.

The sky northwest of Bayam, the "City of Generosity," in the Rorsted Islands.

The sky suddenly darkened, layers upon layers of dark clouds piled up, and countless silvery lightning bolts leaped out.

Many deep blue waves surged high, swept by the wind, rushing towards the clouds, connecting the sky and the sea.

Where the sea meets the sky, beams of light appeared. They were not brilliant, not clear, and had no color; they seemed to be composed of a vast amount of illusory things.

This is no different from any other situation; this is the moment when the God of Steam and Machinery and the Lord of Storms have truly begun to make their move.

The final battle between the Evernight Goddess and the God of Combat is about to erupt.

In order to prevent the Evernight Goddess from receiving more support, the God of Steam and Machinery and the Eternal Blazing Sun acted in unison.

One held back the Lord of Storms on the Sonia Sea, the other held back the God of Knowledge and Wisdom on the battlefield of Lenburg.

Although the power of the God of Steam and Machinery is probably somewhat inferior to that of the Lord of Storms.

Moreover, the sea is the domain of the Lord of Storms, but since everyone is True God, it's not so easy to determine who is superior.

Therefore, Stiano only needs to stall until the final battle on that battlefield is over.

Upon receiving Ivan's message, Kronos immediately began to find out what was going on.

Over the past few months, Kronos has established separate contacts with everyone in the Tarot Club in order to obtain the most convenient Message as soon as possible.

If the story doesn't deviate too much from the original, then Stiano's battlefield at this point is on the Sonia Sea.

With Mr. Fool's support, the Rorsted Islands rebels' independence movement has been steadily progressing.

By now, they should have taken over Bayam, the city known as the "City of Generosity".

Actually, it's just that everyone is willing to give Mr. Fool some face; otherwise, this kind of independence movement wouldn't be so easy.

The Sonia Fleet is now under the control of Kronos, and if Kronos so desires, the Sonia Fleet can rout these rebels at any time.

It's just that the situation in the Sonia Sea has become slightly more unfavorable.

But that doesn't really matter, because the victory in this war was never determined by the war fought by these ordinary Soldier.

Even if Backlund is conquered and Loen is nominally destroyed, as long as the Evernight Goddess intends to support Loen after her victory, this country will still rise again on the Northern Continent.

As for the Lord of Storms, the events at the Rorsted Islands had the greatest impact on him.

That means losing a source of faith.

Only the Church of Storms Church of Storms on the Rorsted Islands; this is practically their private territory.

Even so, the Lord of Storms gave Mr. Fool face and didn't pursue the matter afterward.

This shows that everyone is really good to Mr. Fool.

I received firsthand Message from Alger: a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky, with Lightning resonating with another force.

This situation can only prove one thing: Stiano has indeed begun to take action.

Such a brilliant opportunity was one that Kronos was naturally not going to let slip by.

Therefore, he turned and went into the lair of the Moses Ascetic Order.

Now that the Hidden Sage is away, it's the perfect opportunity to stir up trouble. As long as the Hidden Sage is thoroughly enraged, the Angel of the Church of Steam and Machinery will have no spare energy to care about us.

At that time, I will be able to come and go freely, whether it's the Cathedral of Machinery or the Perfect Land.
